Make America Tweak Again: This Trump Family Member Is Inspiring A Cosmetic Surgery Craze
Last Updated: Dr. Norman Rowe said he has seen a noticeable uptick in patients asking for facial features similar to Ivanka Trump. A growing number of plastic surgery patients in the United States are requesting cosmetic procedures inspired by Ivanka Trump's appearance, according to prominent surgeons in New York and Florida. Dr. Norman Rowe, a board-certified plastic surgeon operating in Manhattan, the Hamptons, and Palm Beach, said he has seen a noticeable uptick in patients asking for facial features similar to Ivanka Trump. 'We're seeing as many as 15 clients a day in Palm Beach wanting the 'Ivanka look,'" he told the New York Post, referring to high cheekbones, full lips, wide eyes, and smooth, wrinkle-free foreheads- a combination some now refer to as the 'Mar-a-Lago Face." The demand isn't limited to younger patients as Norman noted that older clients often reference Kristi Noem, the South Dakota Governor and US Secretary of Homeland Security, as their aesthetic benchmark, praising her polished public appearance. While certain features can be replicated, Norman Rowe cautioned that results depend on a patient's existing facial structure. advetisement 'If someone says, 'I want her lips or nose,' we can work with that," he said, adding, 'But there are physical limitations. You can't completely transform someone's face if the base isn't there." Dr. Mark Epstein, a dual board-certified surgeon in New York City, reported a similar post-pandemic trend, particularly after the 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump. 'There was a noticeable increase in business and confidence," Mark Epstein said, linking the aesthetic trend to the growing visibility of Donald Trump-aligned public figures. Surgeons say the phenomenon reflects a cultural shift in aspirational beauty within certain political and social circles. Norman Rowe said, 'You go to Palm Beach or the Everglades Club, and you see it — a group of people who want to look polished, youthful, and visibly aligned with a certain lifestyle."

Check out this home on a Florida golf course that just sold for $17.5 million
Check out this home on a Florida golf course that just sold for $17.5 million The 1930s-era house on El Bravo Way is about a mile-and-a-half south of Mar-a-Lago. The house was the longtime home of Ann Summers and her late husband, Peter. A trust was on the buyer's side. The landmarked family home of the late investments adviser and businessman Peter Summers and his widow, real estate agent Ann Summers, has sold in Palm Beach for $17.5 million, the price recorded with the deed. The 1930s-era house at 215 El Bravo Way stands on one of the so-called 'El Streets,' which are considered prime real estate in the Estate Section, the historic neighborhood that is also home to President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club. Along with neighboring El Vedado Road and El Brillo Way, the streets are renowned for their history, handsome architecture and proximity to shopping and dining options in Midtown. A trust named after the property's address was on the buyer's side of the sale, the deed recorded May 14 shows. The document lists West Palm Beach real estate attorney Maura Ziska as trustee of the 215 El Bravo Trust. Ziska declined to comment about the sale, and because of rules governing trusts, no other information about the buyer was immediately available in pubic records. The two-story house is the second one west of North County Road with windows and glass doors that look across Island Road to the Everglades Club's golf course. The property is about 1½ miles south of Mar-a-Lago. The Monterey-style house has six bedrooms and 7,366 square feet of living space, inside and out. It stands on a lot measuring two-fifths of an acre, property records show. The house was designed in 1934 by society architect Howard Major, who drew up plans for a number of Palm Beach houses in the Monterey style. The focal point of the main façade is a second-story cantilevered balcony with an ornamental metal railing. Among its distinctions, the residence was owned in the 1930s by silent film star Norma Talmadge and her husband, comedian George Jessel, according to a 2020 report prepared for the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The house earned landmark status in March 2020. Peter Summers paid a recorded $2.2 million for the house in 1993, courthouse records show. After his death at age 81 in 2024, ownership passed to his widow and two children from his first marriage — Bliss Elizabeth Summers and George Ellis Summers Jr. The just-recorded deed lists all three as the sellers of the house. 'We were there for some 30-odd years,' Ann Summers told the Palm Beach Daily News. 'It's a lovely house on an 'El' Street. I lived on El Brillo (many years ago) and then on El Bravo — they are the best streets in town.' Peter Summers was an avid outdoorsman who once worked as an African safari guide. His career expanded to include financial services, real estate development and the cattle industry, according to his obituary. He began his corporate career with E.F. Hutton and Co. in 1971 and retired in 1999 from Alex. Brown. He also worked in real estate development in Florida and as a commercial cattleman in the Sunshine State and Virginia. Ann Summers sells real estate as an agent with Brown Harris Stevens' Palm Beach office. She and Peter Summers were married when he bought the house on El Bravo Way. Summers is downsizing to a Palm Beach lakeview apartment in a Midtown co-operative building at 369 S. Lake Trail, she said. She bought that two-bedroom penthouse with for about $4 million in January, property records show. Broker Christian Angle of Christian Angle Real Estate handled both sides of the just-recorded sale on El Bravo Way. He listed the property at the tail end of August 2024 at $23.95 million, a price that had dropped to $19.95 million by the middle of January, records in the multiple listing service shows. Angle could not immediately be reached for comment. The sales listing described the property as offering 'serene outdoor living' with tropical landscaping and a covered poolside loggia accessed from the house through French doors. 'The garden is absolutely beautiful,' Ann Summers said. She added: 'The garden comes alive at nighttime,' thanks to landscape lighting and the light from the pool. Among the property's other notable features, the listing said, are a cabana room with a bar and an oversize family room with a fireplace and wood-beamed ceilings. The layout also includes a living room with a fireplace as well as a formal dining room. The house's landmark designation protects exterior walls viewable from the street from significant changes without the permission of the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The Summerses supported the effort to designate the house a landmark, town records show. The Monterey style is a fusion of architectural revival styles, including Spanish Colonial, British Colonial and French Creole. It originated in California and was especially popular in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s, according to architectural historians. 'This is a really lovely house that will be a great addition to the town's landmark list," former landmarks board Chairman Ted Cooney said when the house was landmarked five years ago. 'Major was a master of the Monterey style ... having [a Major design] preserved in such an important neighborhood makes a lot of sense to me.' A second-story addition and the pool cabana were added to the rear of the house in 1992, according to the landmarks report. But apart from that, changes over the years were minimal, according to the report. The house was originally part of El Bravo Park, a 27-acre, ocean-to-lake property bought by engineer Frank Clements, a winter resident and engineer who intended to create his own estate. But Clements, responding to demand for villa sites, divided the property into 36 lots and two streets — El Bravo Way and El Brillo Way. In 1921, first-generation Palm Beach architects Addison Mizner and Marion Sims Wyeth were the first two architects to design villas in El Bravo Park, according to the landmarks report. dhofheinz@ (This story was updated to add new information.)

The incredible story of Seminole Golf Club includes E.F. Hutton and Donalds Ross and Trump
The incredible story of Seminole Golf Club includes E.F. Hutton and Donalds Ross and Trump When the 1929 stock-market crash caused economic turmoil and hardship, Palm Beach VIPs were excited about the upcoming debut of an exclusive golf club. It's not that the Oct. 29-spawned financial meltdown that year didn't affect any of the wealthy in Palm Beach — the town's then-mayor, for one, stepped down, citing financial stress — but social affairs and pet projects continued. And plenty of buzz surrounded the new golf course on the horizon. Along with expectations that Seminole Golf Club would boast one of America's best golf courses, its founding members amounted to a Palm Beach Who's Who. At the helm was E.F. 'Ned' Hutton, who wintered on the island with his famed cereal-heiress wife, Marjorie Merriweather Post, in their 1927-completed estate, Mar-a-Lago, now owned by President Donald Trump. Talk about a power couple: Hutton, an avid sportsman, had founded his well-known New York-based investment firm in 1904; Post was a hostess extraordinaire, businesswoman and philanthropist. They entertained lavishly and could always be counted on to don elaborate garb for the Everglades Club's then-annual Costume Ball. They were instrumental in the 1927 founding of Mar-a-Lago neighbor The Bath & Tennis Club. Hutton loved golf. At the same time that he commissioned a 9-hole mini course for Mar-a-Lago's 17 acres, he began planning for an 18-hole course on 140 acres in his possession. That land about nine miles north of Palm Beach, had formerly been owned by Lake Park founder Harry Kelsey and extended from U.S. 1 to the ocean. This would become the home of Seminole Golf Club. Once work began on the project in spring 1929, it was dubbed 'Palm Beach society's latest stronghold' thanks to Hutton and his VIP friends rallying behind it. Car-company founder Walter Chrysler, publishing-heir Herbert 'Tony' Pulitzer, and financier sportsman Henry Carnegie Phipps were among charter members who wintered in Palm Beach. Why were they all eager for a new golf course? It's not as though Palm Beach didn't have enough golf holes to play. What's said to be the oldest continuously played golf course in Florida was opened in Palm Beach in 1897. Never mind that its founder, Standard Oil partner and Florida east-coast developer Henry Flagler, once declared golf 'a passing fancy' in America. He established the 1897 course between two Palm Beach hotels he developed (including The Breakers and a now-long-gone lakefront resort property). Two more golf courses debuted in Palm Beach by 1920: the original 1917 course at Palm Beach Country Club and a 1920 course at the Everglades Club. But clearly Hutton and friends wanted to enhance the golf scene with a new exclusive club centered around golf. The Juno site for it was punctuated with swampland and sand dunes, but most of the area — including Palm Beach — remained largely undeveloped, too. Some of the topography could be advantageous for a golf course. At the same time, it's not as though Juno was no-name hinterland. Before Palm Beach County's inception in 1909 after it broke away from what was then called Dade County, Juno was the seat of a county stretching from the Florida Keys to Stuart. When work began on Seminole Golf Club, the club's officers included, of course, Hutton as president, but also vice president Jay F. Carlisle, a financier and Palm Beach winter resident; and secretary-treasurer Martin Sweeney, a well-known Palm Beach hotelier who'd overseen Flagler-connected hotels. Among numerous notables on the organizing committee: Barclay Warburton, Palm Beach's so-called 'first society mayor' who resigned from that position after the stock-market crash. Hutton tapped famed Scottish golf-course architect Donald Ross for Seminole. Ross had designed Hutton's mini course at Mar-a-Lago, but more importantly, he'd conceived numerous nameplate courses in the country — from famed Pinehurst in North Carolina to Oakland Hills in Michigan and Scioto Country Club in Ohio. He also designed the original course at Palm Beach Country Club. Once Seminole debuted on Jan. 1, 1930, it received gushing kudos for the challenging golf course by Ross, and for the clubhouse. Then-described as a Mediterranean building with an unpretentious 'Spanish farmhouse' look, it was designed by Palm Beach architect Marion Sims Wyeth. With a huge terrace and patio overlooking a large swimming pool, the clubhouse originally was painted red, according to accounts, with white ornamental trim, green shutters and blue-green awnings. What awed most: an immense men's locker room with a 20-plus-foot ceiling, new-American furnishings and 72 knotted-pine lockers — details that today make it a 'gold standard' for such spaces, golf experts note. Architect Wyeth, who'd been part of the architectural team behind Mar-a-Lago and other Palm Beach estates and projects, was the first in Palm Beach inducted into the American Institute of Architects in 1954. In the end, the cost of creating Seminole was estimated at around $500,000 (the equivalent of around $10 million today), although it may have been closer to $750,000, as some estimates suggested. The club's reputation quickly grew. In time, staff pros included Masters champs. Joseph P. Kennedy, Henry Ford and the Duke of Windsor became members. The club's daily closing time of 6 p.m. may also have had a Palm Beach connection: Local lore has it that Hutton's wife Post and other influential club-members' wives (who enjoyed a much smaller locker room at Seminole than the men) wanted their spouses home in time to ready for evening soirees on the island. Today, Seminole still ranks high in golfing circles. In Golfweek's 2024 list of the top Classic courses, Seminole is No. 12.
